  Father	William George GOTHAM,   b. Abt 1818, West Teignmouth, Devon, England ,   d. Mar Q 1901, Plymouth Reg Dist, Devon, England  (Age ~ 83 years)
  Mother	Eliza WILLIAMS,   b. Abt 1831,   d. Dec Q 1910, Plymouth Reg Dist, Devon, England  (Age ~ 79 years)
  Married	16 Feb 1858	St. Nicholas’ Church, Shaldon and Ringmore, Devon, England
  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 15 Nov 2014) "William George Gotham, of full age, Bachelor, Gardener, residence at time of marriage St Nicholas [Shaldon], father: Thomas Gotham, Fisherman [married] Eliza Williams, of full age, Spinster, Servant, residence at time of marriage St Nicholas [Shaldon], father: Henry Williams, Miller" GRO ref: Gotham, William George, to Williams, Eliza q1 1858 Newton Abbott RD 5b 216 Surnames used as 2nd (or occasionally 1st) Christian names were by no means always the mother's maiden name, but the majority were probably the maiden name of the mother of paternal grandmother. I don't know where Pearn came from that William and Eliza gave to a son. Their PR marriage entry (i.e. certificate data) shows that Eliza was a spinster when she married, and William's parents marriage entry also shows Charlotte was a spinster (a Prowse) when they married. Eliza William's mother was Grace PROUT, probably a Prout by birth as a sister of Eliza's was named Grace Prout WILLIAMS. Although such names were nearly always family names in the broadest sense, they could be from in-laws etc. e.g. a sister's husband (possibly used when he was a Godfather) or a step-father. I wonder if it's possible that William married Eliza accepting that she was pregnant by another man - their first son, the only one given a surname as a Christian name, was born somewhere between 6 weeks and 4½ months after the marriage. There is probably some significance in the name Pearn being given with the Christian names 'Henry John'. A Henry John Pearn was baptised in Dawlish, not far from Teignmouth, in 1840. Maybe he was Godfather to Henry John Pearn GOTHAM. His parents were John and Joanna, they appear to be the couple who married in Exeter in 1836, Joanna being a Cox at the time of marriage; the PR entry does not show whether she was a spinster at the time.
